| | DECEMBER - JANUARYMANAGEHRMAGAZINE.COM9Consistency is the challenge, as in that emotional fabric, everything is permeable and requires us to be in a constant state of alertEMOTIONAL CONNECTIONSAware of this, I am convinced that we are influenced by everything we experience and, therefore, I also believe that emotional engagement is the most powerful. Each and every situation we experience creates a sensation, a feeling or a human reaction, which varies significantly for each of us. We therefore have to take care of it by working on the group itself, at the same time as meeting individual needs. In other words, we need to be aware what a certain individual needs and know whether or not we can have a positive influence on them. Additionally, there are emotional impacts with a collective effect, which, to a greater or lesser extent, always have a positive impact on all team members, as they awaken their more emotional side and strengthen the bond. The bond with the company becomes stronger and loyalty is enhanced. These are priority impacts with which we want to make people feel positive, pleasant, exciting and very human things, all of which impact people beyond a professional purpose. Perhaps we are able to forget a stressful time during project submission, a meeting that was not as successful as expected, an unsuccessful business, but what we do not forget is how this made us feel.From the perspective of a people manager, with absolute business orientation, such as the undersigned, taking into account the emotional impact of the company on the teams is an arduous task, without losing sight of so many other priorities that impact good people management. However, for me this is not the case, not only due to the lessons learned through my own experience in the area, but also as, fortunately, I undertake my role in a company that seeks to positively influence people's emotions on a daily basis. We take care of them, accompany them and make impressions at "that time" they are experiencing, as we feed them at so many different moments during their lifetime. This is why working out that the greatest commitment is in how we make people feel has been easy for me. However, consistency is the challenge, as in that emotional fabric, everything is permeable and requires us to be in a constant state of alert.In this search to ensure the commitment of our teams in a turbulent labour market impacted by either the "Great Resignation" or as a result of professional unemployment, we can only become better leaders to other people if we are better leaders of their emotions. We therefore make them feel proud to belong, by way of different vehicles such as music, projects aimed at vulnerable groups, or by providing them with tools for the management of their own emotional wellbeing.It is a long, challenging journey, but I am certain that it will give rise to solid results of incalculable value, as is the case for organisations with talented, committed teams, who are united and, why not, happy.
